I'm shocked by the racism on this site. Can you not see how blatantly racist this is? Do you think black people are worthless and don't even care about economy? Here is some facts you white bastards.
1. On a current market price basis, blacks were responsible for about $1.3 trillion of the $14.4 trillion of 2008 GDP and were responsible for about $1.2 trillion of the $14.1 trillion of 2009 GDP.
2. On a real basis (accounting for inflation), blacks were responsible for about $1.2 trillion of the $13.2 trillion of 2008 real GDP and were responsible for about $1.1 trillion of the $12.9 trillion of 2009 real GDP.
3. The U.S. real GDP decline from 2008 to 2009 would have been 0.6 percentage point less had blacks not contributed to the economy.
4. Inflation that occurred from 2008 to 2009 would have been reduced by 0.4 percentage point had blacks not participated in the economy.
5. Black workers comprised 11 percent and 10.8 percent of all workers.
6. Obama who is black is the most powerful person in the world is trying to fix the broken economy, ****** by white presidents.

although anon is good for sticking up for what he believes in and racism is wrong, the post didn't mention that they were black and the fact that they were black was not the joke it was because they look silly, the comments were racist as they used the term ****** to identify the people but they didn't suggest that black people were bad at economics so this comment is kind of like pissing in wind
